| We absolutely loved our stay at Colditz Castle and the staff were very helpful - they even arranged for us to have breakfast half an hour earlier than it officially opened. The bathroom smelled a little of drains but everything else was perfect and frankly, who can pass up the opportunity to stay in Colditz Castle?! | ||

| Rooms are very clean and secure. Fantastic to be able to stay inside the castle itself (not that you'd know it once you're in the hostel). So a great place to stay if you have come to visit the castle. Not that there is any choice of hostels nearby! | ||

| After watching the film & reading the books could not miss the opportunity to stay at the castle. I was lucky enough to have the entire castle to myself for the night (bit creepy). Public transport very easy to the village from Dresden/Leipzig. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in history or wants an opportunity to spend a night or two in a castle in a beautiful area. | ||
